Idea: Blade Runner Supplemental Discs?

Just curious as I’ve looked back several pages and I couldn’t find any mention of any preservations for some of the various Blade Runner stuff. Yes, I have seen coverart and miscellaneous (sp?) items but nary a solid disc. Meaning a solid sixth disc to go along with the 5-Disc Collector’s Edition which was released last year on DVD, HDDVD and BD.
Perhaps a dual layered Disc Six and/or Seven to appease those who’d like the most complete set of extras? Could be housed in a slimcase/thinpak two-disc case with custom disc artwork which is in the same vein as the aforementioned from the previous paragraph. Would just need to be documentaries, image galleries and perhaps even the extras found on the Criterion LD.
I see On the Edge of Blade Runner was “released” by Blacksun or whatever the official spelling is. My request is there’d be no logo’s of ANY fan editors at all on the covers or the disc labels. All contributors should be mentioned in the DVD credits with their real names (probably) followed by their “Usernames”.
If anybody who’d be able to tackle this project, it’d be in the more than capable hands of DigitalFreakNYC (Craig). Just real first names.
It’s too bad none of us have an X01 player so we can preserve the LD supplements of the Criterion release.

No.
Just everyone accumulating materials to make Dual Layered DVD's which'd be essentially Disc(s) 6 and/or 7. Disc(s) 6 and/or 7 to accompany the 5-Disc Complete Collector's Edition which was released last year. A "Missing" set of archival bonus discs which would make Warner Bros. happy.
Just visualise Disc(s) 6 and/or 7 as being the Bonus 9th Disc from the ALIEN: Tetralogy (FOX made up "Quadrilogy") which had the rest of the features from LD and elsewhere. Case in point: (From DVDCompare.net)
DISC NINE
Bonus Disc

-“Experience in Terror” -1979 promotional featurette (7 min)

-“1992 Alien: Special Widescreen Collector's Edition” laserdisc archive: contains all still and video material from LD release, accessible in the original linear experience format of through a table of contents
-2 theatrical trailers
-2 TV-spots
Aliens (1986)
-“1991 Aliens: Special Widescreen Collector's Edition” laserdisc archive: contains all still and video material from LD release, accessible in the original linear experience format of through a table of contents
-Teaser trailer
-Theatrical trailer
-Domestic trailer
-International trailer
-TV spot
Alien3 (1992)
-Advance featurette (3 min)
-5 theatrical trailers
-7 TV spots
Alien: Resurrection (1997)
-Teaser trailer
-Theatrical trailer
-4 TV-spots
Additional material
-“Aliens in the Basement: The Bob Burns Collection” -featurette (17 min)
-Dark Horse Comics cover gallery
-PC & Mac compatible DVD-ROM features:
-"Interactive Script" (for all four films)
-Web links

So in other words, a perfet presentation of all the LD bonus materials from the CAV Criterion LD. So Disc 6 could be entitled "Enhancement Archive 2". Perhaps Disc 7 could be the DVD-ROM version of the 1997 Westwood game? Yes, disc art and cover(s) should mirror the aforementioned set released last year. More for continuity reasons compared to anything. Just an idea.
